All the aircraft I have flown I have found daunting to some degree. Early in my PPL training I would be driving to the airport wondering what on Earth I was doing. And that was 'just' a C152. Having gained my PPL I started a tailwheel conversion in a Chipmunk. Just looking at the huge size of the machine made me apprehensive. But after a few circuits I started to feel much more a part of it, and like it was my home. The thrill of conquering the mighty beast (well almost ... I ran out of money before I could solo) left me walking tall and desperate to get my hands on more interesting types. The more initially daunting the better, as the more satisfaction I'll gain from learning to control it. Bring 'em on!
